EMT-B Career Edge Academy at Kirkwood Community College

Andy Novotny, a student at North Linn High School, Troy Mills, Iowa, is a part of the Health Science-EMTB Career Edge Academy at Kirkwood Community College. You can find out more about this academy at http://www.kirkwood.edu/site/index.php?p=16944

Career Edge Academies are career-focused, college credit courses for high school students, available through Kirkwood Community College provided at no cost to students or parents. This program is funded by your school district. Targeted towards high school juniors and seniors, Career Edge Academies offer a hands-on way for young students to explore careers and experience college-level classes. Students earn dual credit, which means the classes not only fulfill their high school graduation requirements, they also count toward a future college degree. And, the credits transfer; students can choose to attend Kirkwood after high school, or another college. Because individual school districts pay for the classes, they are offered at no charge to students or their families. Learn more at http://www.kirkwood.edu/careeracademies

jaceyin, if you listen, the kid says he wants to be a paramedic. EMT-B is required for entry into the paramedic specialist program, as is basic math.

farmboy, I used to teach for KCC, even ran the paramedic program for awhile. The Uof I is nice if you want a bunch of egotistical ass-clowns. Kirkwood had a good program in my day, I'm sure they still do. So the kid goofed a few things, youthful excitement perhaps? Lighten up Francis.

@CFD13119 I always enjoy reading comments like this: "The Uof I is nice if you want a bunch of egotistical ass-clowns." Sounds like someone has had their feelings hurts! Regardless, I would hope that if you are who you say your are and really did used to run the paramedic program at KCC, you would have enough confidence in your program that bashing others wouldn't be necessary. I don't care where you get your education from, lets just not forget we're all on the same team at the end of the day!

[farmboy692009]

ok, the EMT-b class here is ok, the guy needs to realize their is alot more than CPR and vital signs, combitubes arent used anymore, they went to Hiawatha Firedept. and the car thing, is called extracation. i would say University of Iowa is the better course. this is kinda a bad video representing for the EMT-B
